Personally I would go for a Enermax liqtech edition 2 360 or 280. There is the whole story of edition 1 having leaking issues and seems that even some people have this problem with the revision 2. I do own an edition 1 280 for more then 14 months now on a 1950x and thus far no issues at all. So its a loterry... But seems that all problems start within the warranty period so I guess if you have any you could solve them with that. Thats the only viable budget option if you want “serious” overclocking. The other route is custom loop so prepare for 400-700 euro expenses down the line.

I decided to sit out the whole TR2 generation and see what june/july 2019 brings up. I guess new boards and coolers will be introduced then for Tr3/ryzen 3000 and there will be more new aio’s.

For several weeks I have been working on a new machine that I have made myself. The rendering engines I mainly use are v-ray and of course corona. Vray benchmark definitely satisfies me, unfortunately the corona benchmark is a total failure. My score on stock settings is 47 seconds. My second weaker computer has a score of 42 seconds. In addition, when comparing both of these computers in other benchmarks, they show that the set with AMD is much better, but the corona does not confirm it. What is the reason for this?My computer composition is:

I know, I have read on the corona forum about this memory. The only thing that puzzles me is that my second computer (2x XEON E5-2696) in every benchmark is a lot slower, but when it comes to the corona amd 2990wx definitely loses. For me, the conclusion is very simple - it is not memory problem in my case, because in other tests the processor counts without major problems. For me, corona render makes AMD 2990wx so slow, but I do not know what the exact reason is. Do you have any other explanation for this phenomenon? Why exactly corona causes such a problem?

The Zen architecture is heavily dependent on memory speed and latency. This is even more crucial with Threadripper due to the infinity fabric link of the CCX core modules. The issue you are having is because the IMC of the 2990wx cannot handle 128gb of RAM at high speeds. The best RAM speed you are likely to get with 128gb is 2933mhz @ CL14 latency, however looking at the RAM you've listed you're aren't going to get close to these figures.

Intel chips are monolithic (i.e no links between separate core modules), therefore RAM speeds do not affect the chips as much.

Thats crazy, im running the same system here pretty much. Discouraging after paying $6300 CAD for it. On the flip side, im able to render out a pretty heavy exterior scene at 4K in about 45 mins with about 2% noise level. About to run the bechmark to see what i get.

I have ordered a very similar build a few days ago and tomorrow is arriving. I've checked corona benchmark for 2990wx and it gets decent results, where do you see problems with the speed? PPS: Thanks to the forum I purchased 2933 mhz memory.Cheers guys

I'll show you what I mean the last time. Because I have the impression that either I do not understand you or you me: P. Look at the results of my two computers - 3 simple tests, I can do more if you want.AMD 2990WXcinebench 15R - 4900-5000 scoreV-ray benchmark - 27 sec.Corona render - 45 sec - 60 sec (here completely do these times differ from each other)

You say that I have too slow RAM, but what does it refer to this comparison? In all tests, I should have a problem, not only with corona renderer. Maybe it's a matter of windows 10, or maybe some other setting that affects counting processes in the corona. The worst thing about all this is that I use this engine most often in recent times.:/

An interesting test would be to see how to 2950x stacks up against the 2990wx at the same frequency. This would indicate if there is indeed a bottleneck in corona with the 2990wx's memory sharing configuration.
